The biomedical materials industry

Each company has been included in the report owing not only to its financial success, but also on the role it plays in the industry. Some of the companies included are highly diversified with interests in many areas, but their contribution to the biomaterials sector is still significant. Other medium-sized or smaller companies are included because of their focus on a particular area of biomaterials. A selection of medical device producers has also been included because of their involvement in developing biomaterials for applications in their own products.

The science of biomaterials is relatively new. Its development over the past 50 years has been continual, attracting many companies able and eager to make large investments in the sector. The pursuit of longer, better lives has created a fertile environment for products that enhance, protect and repair our bodies. The biomedical industry, while it still faces the same economic challenges and cyclical patterns of demand that face any business, is central to this growth market.
